Elementary Schools in Sierra Expeditionary Learning District

The Sierra Expeditionary Learning is the sole elementary school located within the Sierra Expeditionary Learning District. Serving grades K-8, this school has demonstrated consistent academic excellence, ranking in the top 20% of California elementary schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years.

Sierra Expeditionary Learning outperforms the state average in the majority of Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests across grade levels, with particularly strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. The school's 8th grade proficiency rates in both ELA (52.17%) and Math (39.13%) are notably higher than the state averages (45.95% and 31.57%, respectively). Additionally, the school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 3.8% compared to the state average.

While Sierra Expeditionary Learning appears to be a standout school within its district and the state, the school's relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 27.01% may indicate that it serves a more affluent student population, which could raise questions about equity and access for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Nevertheless, the school's balanced curriculum and instructional approach have contributed to its consistent academic excellence, and there may be opportunities for continued growth and improvement in the future.
